Powder coated aluminium windows for homes and businesses in Irvinestown
The price of aluminium windows depends on the size and number of frames, the profile system, opening sashes, colour and finish, glass specification and access. Dual colours, special finishes, glazing bars and triple glazing add cost. See the guide prices for typical ranges, and the written quote fixes your figure.
Aluminium windows are fabricated to order: profiles are cut, coated, assembled and glazed to the survey sizes. Lead times can be longer than for standard white uPVC, particularly for special colours or steel-look designs, and the expected timescale is confirmed in writing when you accept the quote.
Steel-look aluminium windows reproduce the slim frames and glazing bars of traditional metal windows while adding a thermal break and double glazing. They are often chosen to replace failing original steel windows in 1930s houses, though conservation areas and listed buildings may need consent for the change.
Aluminium frames are usually finished with polyester powder coating, baked on at the factory in a choice of RAL colours and in matt, satin or textured finishes. Dual-colour frames are possible, such as anthracite grey outside and white inside, so the windows can suit both the street and the room.
Included as standard
- Survey, measuring and structural check of each opening
- Sealed double or triple glazed units to specification
- Fitting, sealing and finishing the reveals neatly
- Removal and disposal of the existing windows
About Irvinestown for this job
- Postcodes covered
- BT94 and the surrounding area, including Enniskillen, Omagh and Lisnaskea
- Coast
- Irvinestown is well inland, around 37 km from the nearest coast, so salt exposure is not usually a factor.
- Daylight and sun
- In Irvinestown the midwinter sun reaches about 12° above the horizon at noon, with roughly 7.0 hours of daylight, rising to about 59° and 17.0 hours in midsummer. Slim aluminium frames let more daylight through the same opening. Large south or west-facing panes can overheat rooms, so solar-control glass may help, while north-facing rooms benefit from high light-transmission low-E glass that keeps heat in during short winter days.
- Access and setting
- Rural homes often mix old stone walls with modern extensions, and aluminium suits both when profiles are chosen carefully. Irregular openings are measured individually, and exposed sites benefit from systems with high weather ratings and well-sealed joints against driving rain.
- Rules in Northern Ireland
- Technical Booklet V covers safety glazing in Northern Ireland, including glass in and around doors and low-level glazing where people could walk into it.

In Northern Ireland, replacing windows and doors in an existing home does not usually need a building control application, but the work must still meet the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), including the energy and safety glazing requirements. Other buildings, new openings and structural changes can need approval, so check with the council's building control if you are unsure. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is a repair.
What you can choose
Tilt and turn
Inward-opening sashes that tilt for secure ventilation or swing open for cleaning and escape, useful for flats and high floors.
Casement windows
Side-hung, top-hung or fixed sashes in slim aluminium frames, suiting most houses and extensions, with flush or stepped sash designs.
Flush casement
Sashes sit level with the outer frame for a clean, timber-like look, often chosen for period-style or contemporary homes.
Aluminium Windows in Irvinestown: questions
Can aluminium windows replace original steel windows?
Yes, steel-look aluminium windows are designed for this. They copy the slim frames and glazing bars of old metal windows while adding double glazing and a thermal break. Original steel frames are often set into the masonry, so removal can disturb render or plaster, and the survey checks this. Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent first.
Are aluminium windows better than uPVC?
Neither is better for every home; they suit different priorities. Aluminium gives slimmer frames, larger glass areas, a hard-wearing powder-coated finish and a wide colour choice. uPVC usually costs less and has chunkier frames. Both can meet the energy standard for replacement windows when specified correctly, so compare the certified ratings, the look you want and the guide prices.
How long does it take to install aluminium windows?
Most single windows are fitted within a day, and a typical house takes a few days on site depending on the number of windows and the access. The longer part is manufacturing, because frames are cut, coated and glazed to the survey sizes. The expected lead time is confirmed in writing when you accept the quote.
What colours can aluminium windows be?
Aluminium windows can be powder coated in almost any RAL colour, in matt, satin, gloss or textured finishes, and many systems offer a different colour on each side. Anthracite grey, black and white are common choices, but heritage greens, creams and bronze tones are available too. Special colours can extend the manufacturing lead time, which is confirmed with the quote.
